You guys are so kick ass I just landed 20 feet across the room.

Now, we're close to the TOP 200, but there is a chance we won't break it. It's the fight that counts, that's all that matters.

Whatever orders we don't secure for the initial round of pre-orders we'll rock with re-orders.

We'll rock the re-orders until the sun comes up. Then we'll take a drink of sweet ale and rock them again until the sun goes down.

That's because steroids have the opposite effect on my body chemistry. I've since given up "the juice" and have stuck to healthier pursuits-- like drawing comics for a living.
